Mohamed Salah might be open to the idea of joining Barcelona with reports stating he may have offered himself to the Spanish giants.
According to Sport, Mohamed Salah might have offered himself to Barcelona ahead of a potential exit from Liverpool in the summer. The Catalan giants are likely to entertain the idea of having the flying winger in their squad, albeit only if the Egyptian agrees to a reduction in his salary package.
Liverpool fans are aware of the speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future and know this subject will dominate the period leading to the summer transfer window. The Egyptian is having one of his best seasons with the Merseysiders, and the club are inching closer to lifting the Premier League title.
Salah’s contract expires in the summer, and while reports state Liverpool are working on a new deal, an agreement is far from being signed. The main talking point has been where he might end up joining on a free transfer given there are some major players interested in signing him.
The Saudi Pro League are ready to make a massive financial offer, given Salah is by far the most high-profile Muslim footballer right now. The Middle Eastern league have the financial muscle to power over some of the European giants when it comes to offering lucrative deals.
PSG are also in the mix for Salah, as there are suggestions the Liverpool mainstay may want to stay in Europe to play at the highest level. However, there might be a new suitor in Barcelona, with the Spanish giants now seriously considering a move, if the €15 million-a-year Liverpool mainstay would reduce his salary demands.
Can Barcelona sign Mohamed Salah?
The report hints that Salah has offered himself to Barcelona for a free transfer in the summer. The Blaugrana will avoid paying a transfer fee for one of the best players in the world, which will be appealing, although the Liverpool mainstay’s €15 million-a-year salary is a problem. Where other suitors are lining up lucrative deals for the winger, Barcelona are taking up a contrasting approach.
There might be some doubts from the outside for Salah to join Barcelona, given the club have the right-wing position covered with Lamine Yamal. However, the Egyptian could be used differently in Hansi Flick’s system, as this link could have some legs in the near future.
